Zainab Aliyu

Zainab Aliyu, 22-year-old student of Maitama Sule University, Kano, a Nigerian previously detained in Saudi Arabia for alleged drug trafficking, has returned to the country after spending four months in detention.

Aliyu had been detained in the Arab country since December when she was falsely arrested at the Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina because tramadol, a banned drug was found in her bag, which later discovered that it was planted by airport staff.

She arrived in Nigeria through the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano on Monday in the company of Ibrahim Abubakar, another Nigerian accused of the same crime.
